Romo's autograph $99+??

Sorry mods if this is a repeat, did a search beforehand and find nothing. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come, not just from Romo but from athletes in general.

Bringing Tony Romo Home:

If you want to meet Tony Romo and then take home his autograph, you’ll have to pony up. Romo had a private signing on Tuesday with GT Sports Marketing, which inked him to a memorabilia deal, that will be the Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s only signing for 2006. Romo’s first public autograph session will be on March 18th in San Jose, Calif., where he’ll join Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Marcus Allen, Joe Montana, Steve Young and more than 30 other San Francisco 49ers. Here are the prices, but GTSM warns us that (probably if Romo blows up even more) that “prices are subject to change.”

Autograph on flat item: $99
Autograph on mini helmet: $119
Autograph on football: $129
Autograph on helmet/jersey: $149
Inscription: $39

hopefully its not true because if theres one thing i cant stand about players is when they charge for their autograph!!! i would never ever in my life even pay 1 dollar to get an autograph...

I'd pay for Frank Thomas, he used to charge a dollar for each autograph but would match and donate it all to charity. Not sure if he does this anymore.
